Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1, a Star Wars Celebration Japan exclusive, serves as a prequel for the upcoming MetaQuest Star Wars: Beyond Victory -- A Mixed-Reality Playset.The one-shot, written by Ethan Sacks, with art by Steven Cummings, Will Sliney, Shogo Aoki, Rachelle Rosenberg and VC's Joe Caramagna, sets up the story of Volo Bolus, a podracer with an eye toward the prize and who draws the attention of now-disgraced racer Sebulba (yep, the one from The Phantom Menace).What follows is a fast-paced race on Batuu, a solid backstory and a positioning for the gaming -- and storytelling -- to come in the Beyond Victory software.Whether the comic will get a wider release is unlikely, given specialty issues like these seldom do and we think it's unlikely a digital release or inclusion in a trade paperback isn't in the cards, either, meaning if you want to get a copy, the secondary market is poised to be your only choice. So far, 10 copies of have been sold on eBay, ranging from $25-$303. Another nine copies are still up for grabs, with prices ranging from $50-$219.We got our copy thanks to Kelly Knox, a writer of renown, and known for her work on the StarWars.com website. We're immensely grateful to her for acquiring a copy of the issue for us and sending it our way.Comics Discussed This Week:Star Wars: Beyond VIctory #1 Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #4 (of 4)A New Legacy #1 One-ShotJedi Knights #1The High Republic -- Fear of the Jedi #1Legacy of Vader #1News: Free Comic Book Day is May 3 and features titles from Marvel (Star Wars) and Dark Horse (Young Jedi Adventures).Upcoming Star Wars comics, graphic novels and omnibuses:April 29 _ Crash Zone TPB (Collects Crash Landing, Crash and Burn and the 2025 The High Republic Adventures Phase III Annual), Crimson Reign Omnibus (Collects 1-5, Star Wars 19-25, Bounty Hunters 18-24, Darth Vader 18-24 and Doctor Aphra 16-21)April 30 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III #17, The High Republic Adventures Phase III -- The Battle of Eriadu One-Shot, The High Republic -- Fear of the Jedi #3 (of 5), The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #3 (of 5), Codebreaker #1 (of 4)May 3 _ Star Wars Free Comic Book Day #1, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures Free Comic Book Day #1May 6 _ Star Wars: Ahsoka — Season One TPB (Collects 1-8), Darth Maul: Black, White & Red Treasury Editions (Collects 1-4)May 7 _ Star Wars (Vol. IV) #1, The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #3 (of 5)May 14 _Jedi Knights #3May 20 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III Vol. 3 TPB (Collects 11-13, Wedding Spectacular One-Shot)May 21 _ The High Republic Adventures Phase III #18, Legacy of Vader #4, The High Republic — Fear of the Jedi #4 (of 5)May 28 _ The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #4 (of 5)June 3 _ The Battle of Jakku TPB (Collects Insurgency Rising 1-4,  Republic Under Seige 1-4, Last Stand 1-4)June 4 _ Jedi Knights #4, The High Republic — Fear of the Jedi #5 (of 5)June 11 _ Star Wars #2, The Rise of Skywalker adapation #5 (of 5), The Bad Batch -- Ghost Agents #4 (of 5)June 17 _ Star Wars Legends: The Rebellion Omnibus Vol. 3 (Collects Star Wars: Shadow Stalker (1997) 1, Star Wars: Rebel Heist (2014) 1-4, Star Wars: A Valentine Story (2003) 1, Classic Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1994) 1-2, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996) 1-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Mini-comic (1996) 1-2, Star Wars: Tales From Mos Eisley (1996) 1, Star Wars: The Bounty Hunters – Scoundrel's Wages (1999) 1, Classic Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1994) 1-2, Star Wars: Tag & Bink Are Dead (2001) 2, Star Wars: Tag & Bink II (2006) 1, Sergio Aragones Stomps Star Wars (2000) 1, Star Wars Infinities: The Empire Strikes Back (2002) 1-4, Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi (2003) 1-4;

The adaptation of Timothy Zahn's 2018 novel, Thrawn: Aliances, begins its four-issue run with an amazingly robust first issue penned by Jody Houser and Zahn, with art by Pat Olliffe and Andrea Di Vito, colors by Rachelle Rosenberg and Letters by Travis Lanham. There's some whipsawing between the present and past and the action and cold logic flows freely.In The High Republic Adventures Phase III #2 -- written by Daniel José Older, illustrated by Harvey Tolibao and Nick Brokenshire, colored by Michael Atiyeh and lettered by Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt -- brings us the story of Lula Talisola and how she became the warlord Tartak Vil.

HOW DID LUKE OBTAIN HIS GREEN LIGHTSABER CRYSTAL? For ep 140, Mike continues with the 2020 run of main Star Wars comics, where we find out how Luke obtained his iconic green kyber crystal and learn more about kyber crystals & purification along the way, all while Leia plans for a group of rebels, including Lando & Chewie, to attack a very specific location on the surface of Imperial centre, on Coruscant! Plus Mike talks about the planets of Ilum & Christophsis, the Fallanassi and more! Star Wars 34-36 were all written by Charles Soule with Rachelle Rosenberg as colour artist and for issues 34 & 35, Madibek Musabekov was artist while Andrea Di Vito was artist for issue 36. Issue 34 was released May 3rd 2023, issue 36 was released July 4th 2023 and the trade paperback collection was released 26th September 2023. Mike delved into issues 30-33 of the 2020 SW comics in ep 138 and the issues 26-29 in ep 115, and if you want to hear about Vader bleeding his kyber crystal, check ep 62 of SWCIC and for Kylo bleeding his, check ep 109. Check out each episode of the weekly Ahsoka discussion shows; on this podcast feed or video versions on YouTube; https://pod.fo/e/1f4b32 & https://youtu.be/6mGPxSnMxhw   In the last episode, YODA MUST MAKE PEACE WITH HIS PAST AND RE-ENTER THE DARK SIDE CAVE! In ep 139, Mike continues with the Yoda series by delving into the second half. We get another flashback, this time from the Clone Wars with Anakin and Yoda then argues with a ghostly voice about entering the “Cave of Evil” on Dagobah. Mike also gives information on General Grievous, as well as other familiar faces that pop up in these comics!

For ep 138, Mike delves back into the main run of Star Wars comics from 2020, where Chewie, Holdo, Lando, Leia, Lobot & Luke search for the Kezarat Convoy by using a High-Republic-era Nihil path engine and find themselves in trouble! In addition to the comic's plot, Mike delves into a bit of information regarding the High Republic, Amilyn Holdo, Abyssians and more! Star Wars 30-33 were all written by Charles Soule with Rachelle Rosenberg as colour artist and for issues 30 & 31, Andrés Genolet was artist while Madibek Musabekov was artist for issues 32 & 33.

IT'S THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF RETURN OF THE JEDI, AND A BATCH OF NEW COMICS GIVE NEW STORIES! For ep 128, Mike delves into the first 3 comics that tie-in with Return Of The Jedi; Jabba's Palace, Ewoks & Lando! Jabba's Palace shows a conspiracy where someone tries to take over from Jabba, Ewoks features 3 stories without dialogue that Ewoks tell each other around the campfire while in Lando, he & Chewie attempt to find full schematics of Jabba's Palace, so they can plan a break-in to save Han! There will be 5 more comics released across the year, which Mike will delve into later in 2023. Jabba's Palace 1 was released on March 29th 2023 and was written by Marc Guggenheim, with Alessandro Miracolo as artist and Dee Cunniffe as colour artist. Ewoks was released April 12th 2023, was written by Alyssa Wong and had multiple artists; Lee Garbett, Java Tartaglia, Paulina Ganucheau, Kyle Hotz, Rachelle Rosenberg & Casper Wijngaard. Lando was released May 3rd 2023, was written by Stephanie Phillips, with Alvaro López as artist and Antonio Fabela as colour artist. Each of this comics, plus the remaining 5 to be released over the year, will be released in a trade paperback collection in November 2023, titled Scoundrels, Rebels & The Empire. Mike's conversation with Michael McCormick is on ep 128 of Genuine Chit-Chat: https://youtu.be/D4kz0jSVoj0 Mike's conversation with Mary Kenney of Spider-Man Miles Morales & who has a story in From A Certain Point Of View, Return Of The Jedi: https://youtu.be/cXt63wQSs7w If you enjoyed the Lando comic, listen to episode 18 for the Charles Soule Lando mini-series, set around A New Hope or episode 37 for Lando: Double Or Nothing, written by Rodney Barnes, which shows Lando a few days before his appearance in Solo! In the last episode, Mike delved into the penultimate issue of the Hidden Empire, where the Archivist activates the Fermata Cage on Amaxine Station, as Vader & Palpatine see to it personally! Meanwhile, the Bounty Hunter crew is pursued by Inferno Squad through an asteroid field while Zuckuss is trapped in a vision of his past, meaning we get his backstory! Mike also gives more information on the Gand, Amaxine Station and more!
